Reviews for Super Red Riding Hood

[zzshupinga · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

ARC provided by NetGalleyRuby loves, and I mean loves, to play superhero. I mean seriously who doesn’t? So when her mom gives her a “mission” to go into the deep, dark, scary woods, Ruby throws on her Red Cloak and becomes....Super Red Riding Hood! Dark paths, dark tree, dark bugs, none of it scares her at all! But what, will happen when Ruby meets...the Big. Bad. Wolf! Maybe even a superhero can’t conquer this one?Alright lets get one thing out of the way first, yes this is yet another retelling of a classic fairytale. And what the heck is wrong with that? Look fairytales have been around for a long time and frankly they have to change and grow as we do! And Claudia Davila has written a great adaptation of Red Riding Hood mixing in what a lot of kids are make believing today...that they’re superheroes. In Ruby, Claudia has crafted a character that is not only charming, but believable as well to everyone. Yes, young girls are going to enjoy the character, but so will young boys whether they admit it or not, because they can recognize the desire and the power of putting on a cape and being a superhero. And that is phenomenal achievement and not something everyone can do. The illustrations are pitch perfect and will give readers something fun to enjoy and look at as they follow Ruby along on her adventure. And may, just may, make even an adult or two leap back when the wolf appears.It doesn’t matter what age you are, you can’t help but to enjoy this book. Pick up the book, find a reading buddy, and strap on your cape for a great adventure! 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a fairytale that is a play on "Little Red Riding Hood". In this version, Ruby, loves to play superhero. When Ruby puts on her cape, she transforms into a superhero. A lot of kids imagine that they are superhero, so this will play into their own memory.
